The thing is, we actually do recognize as artists people who write detailed things for other human artists to create. They’re called screenwriters and playwrights and comic writers. Prompt engineering is pulling the handle on a theft-powered slot machine until you say “good enough.”

Funny as it is to see this creepy dry well of an ideology getting covered at the classic 3:1 adherents-to-journalists ratio that applies to conservative stuff, I am baffled by the endless appetite in the press for more iterations of the same story. I know these people already, and have for years.

If life is overall better, enough people will want kids to keep humanity going. Only weirdos who hate people think you have to make rules to force people to give birth.

One of the nice things about being on the left is that most of the shit you believe, reducing poverty, climate change, not randomly bombing places, also allows “humanity to persist on this Earth” in ways not involving asking women if they’re ovulating

I once saw a guy get fired at a pizza place I worked at for giving a customer 8 breadsticks instead of 6, and it actually fucked up his life pretty badly. And yet these guys can just light enormous piles of money on fire and they’re still the most powerful and influential people on the planet 🥴

The library painted over the Neil Gaiman quote it used to have on its mural in the kids section and I can't think of anything more damning, really.

I still can't believe these idiots would put a tariff on tea, let alone coffee. I mean, have they never been to elementary school?

Gently: we do not need pro-natalism, period. We need a society that respects people's reproductive choices and makes sure that they (and their children, should they choose to have them) can live with dignity.

You're never going to be able to "personal responsibility" this shit. It's like guilting people into recycling while one luxury cruise voyage completely undoes a year's worth of personal responsibility. This can only be attacked by going after OpenAI and making them pay for their energy use.

well the honest answer. They won't enforce it then like no offense to Marina Dove but, legit part of fascism is that law is NOT evenly applied. when it's inconvenient it's ignored and for big money it's inconvenient Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics ffs

Trump exempting computers & phones from the tariffs today means that Chinese-made laptops now have lower tariffs than European Cars, Mexican Steel, & Canadian Lumber. Also means Vietnamese-made laptops have a lower tariff than Ethiopian coffee, Indian tea, & Guatemalan bananas

democrats think the best way to court the left is to say "DO IT" really loud while banging on a table at a nice restaurant and watching the silverware fall on the floor.
